Exactly as I ordered. Perfect!
August 22, 2022

This was my first but definitely not last purchase! The only disappointment was waiting for them to arrive but that was impatience on my part because they ship super quick especially considering they were prescription sunglasses! Thanks Zenni!

Good but
August 22, 2022

Frames are great, second pair I've bought. However, the right arm is bent a bit inward and is causing physical head pain

Nice glasses!
August 22, 2022

These glasses were for my husband. He like them and feels he sees well with them. I am going to the eye doctor tomorrow and will be ordering from here if I need glasses.

Like the products, been a customer for at least 10 years so I must think they are worth while in spite of some price creep and the shipping time.

Fast Delivery
September 21, 2022

I liked the process of trying on a virtual version of myself and able to try on glasses. The only thing I have issue with is you can't tell the fit of them and I'm having some discomfort with the glasses around my ear.

Thank you for posting your Zenni review of your latest order for eyeglasses.

It was good to read that you like the Virtual Try-On feature, which enables you to see how a frame will look on your face – virtually.

However, we understand that this feature does not indicate how the eyeglasses will feel on your face when you are wearing them.

We are sorry that you are experiencing some discomfort around your ear, and we apologize for any dismay you experienced as a result.

You selected full-rim, cat-eye, flexible-plastic, black floral frame 2032916, with a frame width of 145 millimeters, for your single-vision eyeglasses with our Blokz® blue-light-blocking feature.

Insofar as you are experiencing some discomfort around your ear, we want to advise of an infographic, found toward the middle of the bottom of every page of our website, How to Adjust Your Glasses: https://www.zennioptical.com/how-to-adjust-your-eyeglasses.

We hope that this information is helpful in assisting you in adjusting the temple arms so that they are not uncomfortable on your ears.

But if you are unable to adjust the temple tips (the part of the temple arm past the bend at the ear) to improve the fit, since this order is within its 30-day warranty period, which starts the day the glasses are delivered, you may return the glasses to us for one of our two refund options – either a 100 percent refund of the price of the glasses in the form of store credit to your Zenni account or a 50 percent refund to the PayPal account you used to pay for the glasses.

If you would like to pursue returning the eyeglasses to us for one of these two refund options, we invite you to telephone Zenni Customer Service, at 1-800-211-2105, and anyone who answers will be eager to assist you once you provide the order number, o4928450778, by emailing you the instructions to return the glasses to us for the refund option you select. We will also email you a prepaid mailing label to use for return postage.

If the wait to speak with a customer service representative is lengthy, you may have an online Chat with us by clicking the button labeled Support, at the lower right-hand corner of every page of the Zenni website.

You may also email us, at [email protected], and if you choose this communication method, please put your order number, o4928450778, in the subject line of the email, and in the body of the email please advise of the refund option you prefer.

We will email you the instructions to return the glasses for the refund, and we will also email you a prepaid mailing label to use for return postage.

We look forward to hearing back from you, if you are unable to adjust the glasses to improve the fit, so that we may offer you the emailed instructions to return the eyeglasses for the refund option you prefer, and also send you the prepaid mailing label to use for return postage.

In addition, we want to recommend the information provided in an infographic found toward the middle of the bottom of every page of our website, How to Measure Your Frame Size: https://www.zennioptical.com/measure-eyeglass-frame-size-how-to.

This infographic explains how to measure the dimensions of each element of a pair of eyeglasses you have now that fits you well and looks good on your face, so that you may shop for a frame on our website with similar dimensions, which can be seen under the enlarged picture of the frame on our website, under Details.

It does not have to be an exact match. You have a 2-mm leeway on each element of an eyeglasses frame, with a 3-4 mm leeway on the temple arms. We also have information in our Help Center that is very useful for determining the frame size you need for a frame to fit you well: https://help.zennioptical.com/hc/en-us/articles/360049904633-How-Do-I-Find-My-Frame-Size-.

We hope that this information is helpful, and if you cannot adjust the temple tips to improve the fit of your glasses in frame 2032916, we look forward to receiving the returned eyeglasses so that we may issue one of the two refund options, and if you select the store credit refund, you may use the store credit toward the payment of your next order, which, if you use the instructions in the How to Measure Your Frame Size infographic, we hope will include one or more pairs of eyeglasses that will fit you well.

Do not fit with helmet
September 21, 2022

I purchased sport frames for my son playing Hugg School football and preferring to wear his glasses during plays. Unfortunately with glasses on, he cannot slide on helmet; with helmet on he cannot put on glasses with the strap. Worth a try, but not $100
